Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

The present invention relates to a member of an alpine ski binding for holding a shoe supported on a ski. More specifically, the invention relates to a device for adjusting the longitudinal position of one member of such an alpine ski binding on a ski. The present invention also relates to an automatic fixing means for a longitudinal locking device.

Generally, shoes are held on skis by a front binding member and a rear binding member. One of these binding members (often the rear binding member) allows the longitudinal position of the binding to be adjusted to allow the ski to be used with different shoe sizes Equipped with means to.

In some cases, both binding members are provided with unique means for adjusting their longitudinal position.
This is the case for rental bindings used on a wide variety of shoes of very different sizes. In this case, the longitudinal adjustment of both binding members makes it possible to adapt the ski to a shoe of a given size and to make the center of the shoe coincide with the center (or approximately the center) of the ski.

Various devices are known which allow the longitudinal position of the front binding member to be adjusted in this way. For example, French Patent Application No. 2578534 describes
A front binding member has been described in which the pedestal moves along a slide guide (sliding groove). The means for enabling adjustment of the longitudinal position of this pedestal include:
Included are lateral teeth cooperating with the orifices of the slide guide (sliding groove) and a type of cam for forcing these teeth into the orifice. A device of the same kind is described in French patent application No. 2632200.

These devices require tools for making longitudinal adjustments. Moreover, the pedestal of the fastener is specific to this application. That is, this pedestal has special equipment for adjusting its longitudinal direction.

From EP-A-169315 is also known an adjusting device for mounting on a front binding member. This device includes an operating lever, and movement of this lever causes the rod to be inserted into one of the orifices of the slide guide (slide groove).
As with the previous cases, this device also requires fastener specific equipment. That is, the fastener must be designed and manufactured in its entirety, taking into account the presence of this equipment.

Furthermore, French patent application No. 2284347
From the specification, an adjusting device is also known which comprises three main members which are movable relative to one another along the longitudinal direction. The device first of all comprises a base plate which is integral with the ski. On the central part of this base plate one bearing plate is guided. The position of this support plate is defined by a movable slide carried on the base plate. Finally, one guide plate is guided on the lateral wings of the base plate. This guide plate is movable with respect to the bearing plate against the return force of the spring.

This device has the disadvantage of being complicated. That is, the device includes three members that slide relative to each other. Furthermore, this device is not practical because the slide device is carried by a member integral with the ski. It is not possible to operate the slide and move the fasteners simultaneously with one hand.

Finally, this device cannot be used with all fasteners, especially the front fasteners. In fact, the guide plate return springs are useless for these fasteners.
In fact, this device is for a rear fastener, not for the entire fastener itself, but for the body of the rear fastener itself.

One of the objects of the present invention is to propose a longitudinal adjustment device for a standard binding member, in particular a binding member which can be used with a front binding member.

Another object of the invention is to propose a device which makes it possible to make longitudinal adjustments without the use of special tools.

Another object of the present invention is to propose a device which is very easy to operate and which requires a natural motion on the part of the user.

A further object of the present invention is to propose a device that operates reliably, that is, a device that completely limits the risk of accidental unlocking.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description. However, this description is provided as a reference and is not a limitation.

The adjusting device according to the invention is intended for equipping a binding including a holding member at one end of a shoe, a main body and a pedestal allowing the binding of the binding to a ski. The adjustment device is further such that the binding member is slidable,
Longitudinal slide guide integrated with ski (sliding groove)
And means for immovably fixing the binding member at two or more different longitudinal positions on the slide guide, characterized in that it has a single base plate on which the binding member of the binding member is fixed. The pedestal is integrally assembled, the base plate is slidably attached to the slide guide, and the base plate further has a locking device for longitudinal positioning and an operation button for operating the locking device. Is equipped with.

Further, in this device, the locking device is moved to its locking position immediately after a longitudinal pressing force in a predetermined direction is applied to the pedestal, and unless a reverse operation is spontaneously performed to disconnect the fixing means. It is also characterized in that it includes a fixing means for automatically fixing.

The invention will be better understood by reference to the following description and the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this description.

FIG. 1 partly shows a ski 1 to which a binding member 2 is attached. The illustrated fastener member is a front fastener member, which may be of any suitable type, as will become apparent later. Advantageously, this member is the same standard member that is mounted directly on the ski.

In a known manner, the binding member 2 has an element 3 for holding the front end of the shoe, a body 4 and a pedestal 5. The pedestal 5 extends rearward through a support plate 6 on which the front end of the shoe rests. All of these elements are found in almost all existing binding members.

Between the binding member 2 and the ski there is a device 7 for adjusting the longitudinal position of the binding member. This device 7 mainly includes a slide guide (sliding groove) 8 integrally connected to a ski, which will be described later in detail.
A base plate 9 mounted on the slide guide 8 so as to slide along the longitudinal direction. This base plate has an upper surface with dimensions close to those of the pedestal 5 and the bearing plate 6 of the fastener. The base 5 is the base plate 9
, But may be removably assembled by any suitable means such as screws.

The base plate 9 further comprises a locking device which cooperates with the slide guide to define two or more different longitudinal positions for the base plate 9. The locking device allows the base plate 9 to be fixed in each of its multiple positions, and the locking device can be actuated by a button 10 which preferably reaches one of the sides of the base plate 9.

In this way, it can be seen that the adjusting device is constructed as a separate member from the fastener member, and thus that the device constitutes a self-supporting subassembly with respect to the fastener member itself. As a result, the fasteners can be replaced with other fastener members of the same type and standard without having to replace the device. Further, if the base plate 9 has mounting means suitable for various types of fasteners (for example, a plurality of sets of orifices corresponding to mounting orifices of various types of fasteners), the adjusting device may have different types. It is possible to attach the fastening member.

In a preferred embodiment, the slide guide 8 extends rearwardly through the elongated tongue 13. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the front portion of the tongue 13 is assembled to an intermediate plate 14, which is interposed between the slide guide 8 and the upper surface of the ski. .. Moreover, the tongue 13 extends rearwardly, in which extension the tongue fits under the base plate (ie the pedestal of the rear binding member). At this point, the end of the tongue 13 is preferably free to slide along the longitudinal direction.

As can be seen in FIG. 1, the rear part of the base plate 9 rests on the tongue 13. Advantageously, the tongue has at each of the possible longitudinal positions of the base plate 9 a continuous indicium 16 each corresponding to the rear end of this base plate. In this way, the tongue and the indicia 16 make it possible to very quickly and very easily identify the position where the front binding element is located.

3 and 4 show the slide guide 8 in more detail. This slide guide has a rectangular overall shape and has a screw hole 20 for joining to a ski in a central portion 19. On the sides of this slide guide are provided two raised longitudinal wings 21, 22 along which the base plate 9 is guided.

In the central portion 19, the base plate 8 has a plurality of teeth 23 to 31. The teeth are aligned along the longitudinal axis and define identically shaped entre-dents between them.

In FIG. 3, nine teeth are shown, thus
Eight tooth spaces are defined. Of course, this number is not limiting and could be any other number.

As shown in FIG. 4, when viewed along the longitudinal direction, the lower bottom of each tooth is located at the upper surface of the slide guide, and the upper bottom is located at the upper portion of the tooth. It is preferable to have a trapezoidal cross section. Thereby, the tooth has laterally at least one inclined surface 32. The role of this inclined surface will be described later.

As can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, the teeth 23 to 31 are located on the central longitudinal axis 33 of the slide guide 8.
The inclined surface 32 faces the direction of the shaft 33 at a position slightly deviated from. However, this is only one preferred embodiment and does not limit the scope of the present invention.

Similarly, according to a preferred embodiment, the first tooth (ie tooth 23) has a larger dimension along its length than the other teeth. Similarly, the last tooth (ie, tooth 31) extends more in the direction of axis 33 than the other teeth. The reason for this will be described later.

5 and 6 are bottom views showing the base plate 9 provided with the lock device 35. The base plate 9 has a longitudinal cutout 36 which communicates rearward and which has two longitudinal grooves 3 on the sides.
Limited by 7, 38. The transverse dimensions of the grooves 37, 38 are such that the base plate 9 is free to slide along the slide guides 8 and is held vertically upwards and downwards. The base plate 9 has edging portions 39 on both side edges and the front edge.
Preferably, the edging is lowered as close as possible to the upper surface of the ski to limit the ingress of snow or dust at this point. Groove 3
7, 38 are dug in the sides of this edging.

In the central part of the base plate 9, the locking device 35 is guided for transverse movement against the restoring force of the spring 40. For example, as shown in the figure, the base plate 9 has a transverse cutout 41 along which the locking device 35 is guided. The locking device 35 extends laterally via a tongue 42, on the end of which the operating button 10 is located. The button 10 communicates with one side edge of the base plate 9, and
At this point, the base plate 9 preferably has lateral bulges 44 on either side of the button that wrap the button in the contour of the base plate.

In one preferred embodiment, the locking device 35 has in its central portion an assembly of three teeth 45, 46, 47, the teeth 45 and 47 at both ends being aligned in the longitudinal direction. And the central tooth 46 is offset in the direction opposite to the button 10 with respect to the second tooth along the transverse direction. In the illustrated embodiment, two teeth 4
The axis with which 5 and 47 are aligned is offset from the central longitudinal axis 50 of the base plate 9 towards the button 10.

The tooth portions 45 and 47 at both ends are slide guides 8.
Has a width approximately equal to the width of the tooth space. Speaking of the width of the central tooth portion 46, this width is the width of the intermediate tooth portion 2 of the slide guide 8.
It is approximately equal to the width of one tooth of 4-30.

At least the central tooth portion 46 has the button 10
On the side, it is preferable to have a sloped surface 48 with a slope approximately equal to the slope of the end face 32 of the teeth 24-30. From the above description, when the base plate 9 is fitted to the slide guide 8, the spring 40 of the locking device 35 causes the teeth 45, 46,
It will be readily understood that the biasing of 47 towards the teeth 23-31 of the slide guide 8 is provided. The tooth portions 45 and 47 are adapted to be fitted in the tooth spaces, and the central tooth portion 4
6 is adapted to be stopped against one of the teeth 24 to 30 of the slide guide 8. The inclination of the end faces 48 and 32 has the effect of converting the transverse force of the spring 40 into an upward vertical force on the pedestal when the tooth 46 is mounted on one of the teeth 24-30. .. This is
Helps to reduce the vertical clearance between the base plate 9 and the slide guide 8 at least in the absence of shoes.

It has already been mentioned that the first tooth 23 has a greater width than the other teeth of the slide guide 8 and thus has a greater width than the central tooth 46 of the locking device. .. As a result, the locking device 35 cannot be positioned with respect to the tooth portion 23. Therefore, the tooth portion 45
It is certain that the and 47 are always positioned between the two teeth of the slide guide 8 regardless of the longitudinal position taken by the base plate 9. Therefore, eight tooth spaces define seven different positions.

By moving the toothing of the locking device into the area of the first toothing 23 by the longitudinal adjustment of the base plate 9 (this corresponds to the retracted position of the base plate 9), the front part of the folding part 39 of the base plate 9 is moved. Part 5
2 is hit against the front edge 53 of the slide guide 8,
This limits the rearward movement of the base plate. However, this is not a limitation. It would also be possible to limit the rearward movement of the base plate 9 by extending the teeth 23 in the same way as the teeth 31 in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 33.

With respect to the forward movement, it was already mentioned that the last tooth 31 extends more towards the axis 33 than the other teeth. In this case, it can be seen that in order to go over this tooth 31, the locking device 35 has to be moved laterally a greater distance than if it goes over another tooth.

FIG. 5 shows a preferred embodiment. According to this embodiment, a block 56 of compressible material (eg closed cell foam) is interposed between the button 10 and the side wall of the base plate 9. This block serves to fill the space between the button and the base plate (thus preventing snow or dust from entering this area)
Fulfill. This block also cooperates with the spring 40 to contribute to the elastic return of the locking device 35.

Furthermore, the more compressed this block is, the more rapidly the force that restrains the movement of the locking device is increased. As a result, in order to fully push the locking device to disengage it from the misaligned teeth 31, the locking device is pushed with a force greater than that required to disengage the locking device from the intermediate teeth 34-30. There is a need.

The shift from the operating position to the non-operating position is performed simply by pressing the button 10 which is the operating means of the locking device. The spring 40, in its operating position, ensures an elastic return of the locking device.

The longitudinal adjustment device further comprises means for automatically locking the locking device in its locking operating position.

Referring to FIG. 5, the locking device 35 has two parallel edges, and the recess 41 which guides the locking device inside is seen from the top, the base plate 9
Has a diverging shape with one wall 52 substantially perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 50 of the and a front wall 53 inclined to this central axis, so that On the lock device side, there is a gap between the lock device and the cutout portion.

Further, as is apparent from FIG. 5, the shaft of the spring 40 for returning the locking device is a support device of the locking device which is supported by the wall 55 located on the rear side of the base plate 9 by the pressing force of the spring. It is inclined with respect to the direction perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 50 for elastic return.

As a result, the locking device 35 is located at the second position (that is, the locking device is located on the wall 5) in the horizontal plane of FIG.
5 in the initial position shown in FIG. 5 in the bearing state with respect to 5 and in FIG.
Rocks between other positions shown in.

By slightly moving the fastening member or the base plate forward or backward in the longitudinal direction, the locking device 35 can be swung between these two positions. In fact, for such movement, the locking device is held at its teeth and is connected to the pedestal 9 at its tongue 42, so to speak, so to speak, by the teeth 24 to 24 of the slide guide. Pivot around one of the thirty.

The rearward movement is performed by a spontaneous movement on the binding member or the base plate. Also,
The forward movement is likewise effected by a spontaneous movement, or automatically and forcibly when the shoe is fitted into the binding element. In fact, if shoes are present,
It is known that shoes always exert a forward pressing force on the front binding member.

However, according to a preferred embodiment, the spring 40 is, by virtue of its inclination and the restoring force it exerts, the locking device returning to the locking operating position and any voluntary movement of the spring 40. Immediately elastically, if not added to the pedestal 9
Back to the front.

In the forward position of the fastener member (ie, the position shown in FIG. 5), this securing means is in the actuated state,
The locking device prevents any movement towards the non-actuated position. On the other hand, in the retracted position of the base plate 9 shown in FIG. 6, the fixing means is in a non-actuated state, and the locking device can be operated toward a non-actuated position in which longitudinal adjustment is possible.

With reference to FIG. 5, this fixing means is shown in the form of a pawl member 58 located at the end of the locking device opposite the button 10 and cooperating with a recessed groove 59. .. This finger is along the transverse axis of the locking device and the direction of the groove is substantially parallel to the inclined wall 53.

In the operative position of the locking device (ie, the position shown in FIG. 5), the fingers are out of the groove and out of alignment. In fact, the pawl member 58 lies in front of the lip of the groove 59. Accordingly, the pawl member 58 is urged against the lip of the groove 59, preventing any movement of the locking device 35 towards its inoperative position.

When a voluntary rearward movement, schematically indicated by arrow 57, is applied to the binding member or base plate 9, the locking device oscillates in the position shown in FIG. In this position, the fingers 58 are in line with the grooves 59. The locking device can then be moved to its non-actuated position, which is indicated by the penetration of the pawl member 58 into the groove 59. FIG. 7 shows the adjusting device in this position. At this time, the longitudinal position of the binding member can be adjusted so as to move the teeth of the locking device to the front of the other teeth of the slide guide.

It is mentioned that the spring 40 ensures a resilient return of the locking device to its locking operating position, and that this spring also attempts to move the locking device 35 to the position in which the locking means are in the activated state. You need to do it. However, if this is not the case, this position is reached as soon as the shoe is fitted into the binding member. In fact, any forward movement applied to the binding member or base plate 9 moves the locking means into its operative position. As a result, it is certain that no unexpected unlocking can occur, especially when skiing.

However, according to a preferred embodiment, the spring 40 is strong enough to bring the pedestal back forward as soon as the locking device is released. Therefore, the fixing means are automatically returned to the operating position.

FIG. 8 shows a variant embodiment. According to this variant, the fixing means comprises a lateral stop 60 projecting towards the wall 52 of the recess 41 for the locking device, which stop cooperates with a stop 61 projecting from this wall.

In the operative position of the fixing means (ie the position in which the locking device 35 is supported against the wall 52), these two stoppers 60, 61 are in support of one another and the locking device is in its inactive position. No movement to move to is possible. In the non-actuated position of the fixing means (ie after the base plate 9 has moved rearward), the stopper 60 of the locking device is separated from the stopper 61 of the wall 52, at which time the locking device can be moved to its non-actuated position. it can. As before, the spring 40 ensures an elastic return of the locking device to its operative position and also attempts to return the locking device to the operative position of the fixing means.

FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 show this adjusting device in various operating positions. Figure 8
The locking device 35 corresponds to the normal position of the ski which meshes with one of the teeth 24 to 30 of the slide guide 8. In FIG. 11, a transverse force “F” is applied to the button 10. At this time, the tooth portion of the lock device is disengaged from the tooth portions 24 to 30 of the slide guide, but the movement thereof is insufficient to get over the last tooth portion 31. The foam block 56 is compressed.

In FIG. 12, a force F'greater than F enables maximum movement of the lock device 35, and the teeth of the lock device are disengaged from the teeth 24 to 31 of the slide guide 8. The foam block 56 is maximally compressed. It is possible to remove the base plate by pulling it forward from the slide guide. This is useful, for example, when replacing the entire product, or when removing the fastener members from the base plate for repair or replacement.

Finally, it should be pointed out that, according to a preferred embodiment, the button 10 is located on the left side of the pedestal, at the rear part of the body 4 of the binding member. ..

This takes into consideration the normal position of the ski during adjustment (that is, the top bend is on the left side of the skier performing the adjustment). The skier grips the body of the binding member with his left hand. At this time, the skier's thumb is naturally at the position of the push button 10, so that the skier can operate this button very easily. In this way, the skier performs the necessary movements of actuating the locking device 35, then moving the base plate 9, and then loosening the locking device when the desired position is reached, very naturally and with his left hand. You can do it. At this time, the mark 16 of the tongue portion 13 already described with reference to FIG.
Helps position the base plate 9 in one of the longitudinal positions determined by the teeth of the.

Of course, this description is given for reference only, and other embodiments of the invention could be adopted without departing from the scope of the invention.

In particular, it goes without saying that the adjusting device described above could also be adapted to the rear binding member. By changing the horizontal dimension of the base plate 9,
It would only be necessary for the base plate to accommodate the pedestal of the rear binding member.

Further, the above-mentioned adjusting device is to be mounted on the base plate independent of the fastening member. However, such a device could also be attached directly to the pedestal of the fastener. In this case, the pedestal would be directly connected on the slide gad.

The direction of the walls 52, 53 of the cutout 41 and the direction of movement of the locking device could also be different from those described above.

Similarly, the gap between the locking device and its recess is made parallel by the two walls of the recess 41 and by non-parallel side edges of the locking device, or by some other means. You could also get it.

It is likewise possible to equip the device with other longitudinal adjustment devices for accessories provided on skis or also skiing boards.
